Did they just say itā€™s 280 meters from the epicenter/market and that they were doing studies on bats?

Wasnā€™t it a conspiracy theory just weeks ago when others said the exact samething.

If this thing kills 10 million people outside of China I would like to see some kind of sanction brought against china something real and profound not war but isolation or something

They should also compensate families, not that its any consolation to losing a loved one, but in this day and age, if you lose a partner, you can lose everything from financial difficulties.

OK serious question, is anyone starting to store extra food and essentials? We have been storing up a few things just in case if not when this goes full blown spread in N. America and alike.
I have not stored water in a while, figure if we need water then something really bad happened to the system and we will all be screwed anyway. (nukes going off near cities) I will not survive a hit where we are.
Something to think aboutā€¦
Remember if our cities get to be like China you will be in your house for quite some time, I donā€™t even know if they know how long this illness can stay in the human body and spread,
It has all been a game of chance and crossed fingers so far.

Stiggy, itā€™s never a bad idea to have a month or two worth of supplies on hand. To make it more cost efficient I try to buy stuff on sale and it must be things my family would consume anyway.

Mac n cheese for example. ( wife wont let it in house) say you consume 48 boxes a year. But you usually only buy 2 to 3 boxes per trip. Buy more now if you choose. Thatā€™s about as far as I have went. Maybe a little shopping at my tool crib. I verify employer purchases monthly anyway lolā€¦

Iā€™m really not concerned yet. I have my personal red line and only then will I consider action.

Edit: I have purchased more ammo but thatā€™s something I did pre wuflu as well.

Iā€™m starting to think about putting in an RO system again. Also maybe not a bad idea to get some face shields to have around.

Thanks Poppa
I have several months worth of MRE type food
I have had them just in case the economy takes a dirt nap.
If the food supply runs out so will the way people think and act.
I have enogh ammo to fend for my family also if need be.
,
I was saying for this crisis which I believe is coming people sould prepare now and stock up on can , goods (soups Veg, and broths) Dry goods (dry beans 50lb bags cheap, rice 25 lb bags also cheap)
you can survive a long time in isolation with fuel and water.

They are trying to fluff this off as like the flu, donā€™t be fooled.

I keep atleast a months supply also have a great place to go where cell phones donā€™t work internet doesnā€™t exist water comes out a well, storm cellar is filled to the roof with can goods and enough guns to keep the peace that would be a dangerous road to go down nothing but good ole boys not used to being pushed aroundā€¦thatā€™s what keeps foreign Invaders out just about any single state has enough armed citizens to take over a country if they wanted

I agree about the quarantine of courseā€¦but they need a bathroom etc. and while admirable, a separate plane for those infected would have been a better solution imo.

For sure but I bet it was a last minute scramble situationā€¦if I was a sick American citizen and we ported in Japan thatā€™s where I would stay until I was 100% cleared

Porta potties and simple curtains would have been better than nothing, but I agreeā€¦it was in a pinch and I as well would have preferred to remain in Japan
